Subject: File Conversion Utility
Hello,
since handling source code files and translation PHP files with all those encodings and the infamous Byte-Order Marker seems to be a bit tricky for some, I have created a tool that does file conversions quite easily. You can drag any files you want to convert on the window, select input and output encoding, optionally select use of the BOM, specify an output directory for the converted files and click the "Convert" button. This way you can easily edit the files with any text editor, using any Unicode or your local system codepage, and afterwards convert the files to the required encoding. You can also leave the window open and re-do that work later by clicking "Convert" once again.

For now, the application is only available as an attachment of this post. I'll add it to the website later.

You'll need Microsoft Windows and the .NET 2.0 framework.

This is FileConvert version 1.1.

Known issues:
  • You cannot convert files to their current location. Select a different output directory.

The FileConvert utility is now available for download in my new web laboratory:
http://beta.unclassified.de/projekte/fileconvert/

I've made a small update to it so that it won't overwrite existing files without a confirmation which already once freed me from a file I actually didn't want to overwrite...
